The phenolic base is 10mm thick and features a large, stable surface area measuring 320mm x 200mm. The two 110mm tall round handles allow for a firm grip and are positioned to allow for any angle of approach. The clear overhang guide eliminates the risk of cutting into the phenolic base of the sled and offers excellent visibility. A 50mm high clear guide rail is elevated on two steel rods and overhangs the phenolic base of the sled and acts as the reference by running against the router fence. This new sled uses the router fence as its reference, so unlike sleds that use mitre tracks, you do not have to waste time aligning the mitre slot parallel with the fence. The coping sled features a large smooth sliding phenolic base ensuring stability and control whilst a premium quality toggle clamp holds the stock firmly against the fence, allowing rails to travel through the router bit ensuring clean and square cuts. Sounds like it worked for you.When routing the end grain of a narrow workpiece such as rail and stile doors it is imperative that the workpiece is held both securely and safely to achieve precise results. Use whatever clamps you have on hand to hold the work piece to the sacrificial face-plate. The back angle gauge extends a little beyond the board, so the gauge is still functional but not sticking out so far as to hit the router fence.ģ. This keeps the cast iron of the jig away from the cutters, and provides a clamping surface high enough to clear the router fence. Four wood screws through the back of the face-plate holds it in place. Attach a sacrificial wood board to the face-plate to make a higher and wider clamping surface. (The Delta clamp is too low to clear the router table fence.)Ģ. Remove the work piece clamp and bracket by unscrewing the two socket head screws that hold the bracket to the face-plate. It works well with a few modifications.ġ. My old Delta tenoning jig does the job, as some here have suggested. Thanks for saving me the cost of a vertical router table sled. Maybe not exactly what you want but should be enough guidance to build your own version, maybe improved.Īnyway just a FYI in case you didn't know. Most magazines want $99 for access/USB drives and there's some great content there. I was able to que the 95 issues and the download manager queued 5 at a time until it was finished, about 15-20 minutes. It's far easier if you have an Internet Downloader program that will allow you to que the downloads. Goto and there you can view online or download if you wish. In all honesty this is a free download for any or all if you desire and is perfectly legit. But wait, if you hurry now (no need to hurry) you can download the complete collection to save for later reference for the low, low, price of $0. Something I learned today from this thread (thanks again Tom) started was that there is free access to the 95 volumes of Shop Notes online. I posted this just now to another forum but just in case: I have their volumes 3-10 on hand but Googeling them gave me this site. Tom, a big thanks for the reference to Shop Notes. See how I did that? How clever, and the spellchecker hasn't caught it yet. Could be interested in replicating in a custom sizing. If it's phenolic then a long, strong life can be expected plus it would maybe justify the price. Not sure what the one from Infinity is made of but if it's particle or flake board I don't see longevity. I don't see either jig being able to be used for say 10" drawers using the drawer lock miter bit plus room for a sacrificial board. Can be smaller/larger to deal with your needs. Gene, the best part of building one is usually it's less expensive, gives you a much better idea of how the jig works and can be customized for your needs. Though, I really don't like metal that close to my bits with no miter bar to provide positive positioning. Guess I could take the miter bar off the tenon jig and accomplish the same thing. There is no miter slot in my router table. If one does a lot of miter lock joints, it would be worth the investment.or the time to build one. The Infinity design looks easy enough to replicate.
